Its good to know that Jehovahs people are heeding the command from Jesus himself to GO.

GO therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things." matthew 29;19-20 yes their feet are shod with the GOODNEWS of the kingdom .

"How comely upon the mountains are the feet of the one . . . bringing good news of something better."—ISAIAH 52:7. yes this something better is Gods heavenly kingdom with Jesus as a reigning king ISAIAH 9;6-7 ...daniel 2;44
It is comforting to know that the Bible proclaims good news. It is the news that sickness, hunger, crime, war, and all sorts of oppression will be brought to an end by God’s Kingdom. (Psalm 46:9; 72:12) Is that not news that everyone needs to hear? Jehovah’s Witnesses certainly think so. Therefore, they are known everywhere for their ongoing effort to share the good news of God’s Kingdom with people of all nations.—Matthew 24:14...... NICE

What I said would not be perceived as a "signal" it would be perceived as background "noise" and "tuned out."

Nobody listens to a stuck record.

I realise I am wasting my time here anyway so bye.

s.

not everyone wants GOODNEWS , but some do listen to Jesus voice , and those who listen are the sheep . and then these sheep become a GREAT CROWD revelation 7;9-10 and they are all waving their symbolic palm branches to welcome Gods reigning king Jesus christ . sticking to the true way to salvation leads to everlasting life .John 17;3 and it is very good indeed . yes i am stuck like glue LOL

(Isaiah 55:6) Search for Jehovah, YOU people, while he may be found. Call to him while he proves to be near.

There are many religion groups that use glossy brochures. The glossy brochure is part of our advertising age...not just religions: charities, pizza take outs, and political crap.....just adding to the information paper junk glut.

You can't even recycle some of this high gloss bunf....we should all just go back to the slate....

Well in my neighborhood it teaches the missionaries to knock three times and then cross the street....we've had plenty of great discussions on what it teaches...and what is G-d and the bible origins and authors, various interpretations of texts....

One day two JW's knocked on my neighbours door... Really anger, head case kinda guy... ANYWHO!! He opened the door and saw who it was and they then smiled and began their speel..... He saw red and pushed the door shut and turned to walk away, until the sound of the door slowly creaking open again made him turn back, and it did, the door slowly opened..... The JW's continued to stand there smiling and this time he gave it a real good push to slam the door shut, again as he went to storm off the door opened.... Which one of those two smart asses keep pushing it open he thought and kicked it shut... Bouncing back open he screamed in anger... One of the smiling JW's said.... "I think you should move your cat first."

LOL Yes its good stuff in more ways than one , .......... but some of us dont need to use it ............ we like being stuck .
Sticking to God’s righteous laws and principles.
As Jehovah’s Witnesses, we must stick to what the Bible teaches when we preach, thus imitating our Exemplar, Jesus, who said: "What I teach is not mine, but belongs to him that sent me." (John 7:16) yes having sticking power means LOYALTY.
Jehovahs witnesses are loyal to the highest authorities in the universe, Jehovah and Christ Jesus,

while I did not hold back from telling you any of the things that were profitable nor from teaching you publicly and from house to house. ACTS 20;20
And every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus.acts 5;42

(Matthew 28:20) teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things."

(Acts 20:27) for I have not held back from telling YOU all the counsel of God.

(2 Timothy 4:2) preach the word, be at it urgently in favorable season, in troublesome season, reprove, reprimand, exhort, with all long-suffering and [art of] teaching.
And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come. matthew 24;14 .......................... but i suppose after about 3 knocks on the door it would be best to move on and then we just might find a sheep in another house
"And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; those also I must bring, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherdJohn 10;16

The children thing is obviously a personal opinion, the JW's do not preach that you shouldn't have children, they promote family and family values, as family is good. But, I guess what your friend is saying that she will wait for the end of this system of things... Before she has children, that is her choice... IF you believed there was something awesome, something divine and godly after this world of hate violence and whatever lol.... You may have thoughts about waiting for the peaceful time to have kids... Who knows.. That is her choice.

Correct, Dinosaurs didn't exist and the bones and such are placed there to confuse and trick humans..... Obviously if there were dinosaurs... Doesn't matter what form of christianity you follow, the bones prove your faith to be lies. BUT¬!!$£!$£! BUT! Isn't that a good trick of Satan? That wascally wabbit!

well it does say in GENESIS
After her rebellion against him, God told Eve: "I shall greatly increase the pain of your pregnancy; in birth pangs you will bring forth children."—Gen. 3:16. Maybe if she had stayed loyal to God things would not have been so bad .............. who knows ........... but in this world that we are living in , especially in these last days 2 TIMOTHY3;1-5 we are certainly going through critical times hard to deal with . and it becomes more and more difficult to bring children up with right standards because of the influence of satan (1 JOHN 5;19) And in some countries just trying to get enough food to feed empty tummies is a great pain..................... so maybe your friend thought that she would focus on getting the GOODNEWS about the kingdom out into the world . matthew 24;14 because it is only this kingdom that will solve all of the problems in the world Daniel 2;44 and then in the new paradise earth when things are much better all round , it will be a pleasure to raise children . dont get me wrong i am not saying it is not a pleasure to raise children in this world but we are living in critical times .
